Name: Blockading The Germans! With an overview of 19th century maritime law

Subtitle: The evolution of Britain's strategy during the First World War, Volume 1 (Paperback)

Author: Dyas, Eamon

Editor:

Category:

Publisher: Belfast Historical and Educational Society

Published: 2018

ISBN: 978-1-872078-27-4

Contents: This is the first volume of a Trilogy examining overlooked aspects of the First World War and its aftermath from a European perspective.
Comprehensively sourced with scholarly research, it explains how Britain used a continental blockade to force the capitulation of the Kaiser’s Germany by targeting not just military, but also civilian, imports—particularly imported food supplies, upon which Germany had become dependent since its industrial revolution.
After joining the European War of August 1914—and elevating it into a World War—Britain cast aside the two maritime codes agreed by the world's maritime powers over the previous almost 60 years – the Declaration of Paris in 1856 and the Declaration of London in 1909. In defiance of these internationally agreed codes, Britain aggressively expanded its blockade with the object of disrupting not only the legitimate trade between neutral countries and Germany but trade between neutral countries themselves.
Britain’s policy of civilian starvation during the First World War was unprecedented in history. Whereas it had used the weapon of starvation against civilians in the past, in such instances this was either through the exploitation of a natural disaster to bring about famine (Ireland and India) or the result of pre-conceived policy against a non-industrial society (France during the Revolutionary Wars). Its use against Germany was the first time in history where a policy of deliberate starvation was directed against the civilian population of an advanced industrial economy.
This volume traces the evolution of Britain’s relationship with international naval blockade strategies from the Crimean War through the American Civil War and the Boer War culminating in its maturity during the Great War. It also draws out how the United States—the leading neutral country—was made complicit in Blockading The Germans during the war and brings the story up to America’s entry into the War.

Name: Bolg An Tsolair/Gaelic Magazine, 1795

Subtitle:

Author:

Editor: Clifford, Brendan and Muldowney, Pat

Category: Gaelic Collection

Publisher: Athol Books

Published: 1999

ISBN: 0 85034 083 7

Contents: This is two books in one. Book One comprises a "Gaelic Magazine, Bolg An Tsolair", published in 1795. Only one issue was produced. The Editor was Patrick Lynch, who taught Irish to Thomas Russell and other Belfast reformers. He put together an interesting magazine. Apart from an Irish Grammar, there are some fascinating Dialogues, in Irish and English, more rooted in the life of the country than such texts usually are. To fill out the magazine, Lynch included some Gaelic poetry which had been collected and translated by Charlotte Brooke. Again these appear in Irish and English—and the translations are surprisingly good.
Book Two offers a biographical profile of Patrick Lynch and Charlotte Brooke, who in their different ways represented two aspects of Ireland as it then was. (Charlotte Brooke's family were cousins to the Brookes of Brookeborough.) As there is little information about Charlotte, the authors reconstruct her world, the two guiding stars of which are Henry Brooke, the litterateur, and William Law, a writer of theological/philosophical works as well as devotional ones which were fundamentally at variance with the tendency of English Christianity. The combination of these very different influences served to produce a very unusual lady who became absorbed by the lusciousness of Gaelic culture.
248 pp. Bibliography. Index.
